[ti:Breathing In Backyards] [ar:Lazarus] [al:Like Trees We Grow Up To Be Satellites (The Backwards America)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Breathing In Backyards - Lazarus [00:11.51]The elliptical patterns they erupt into fragments [00:16.09] [00:16.66]And the water drips gently upon my face [00:20.56] [00:21.72]Off the trees in the backyard I'm watching the birds fly [00:26.45] [00:26.97]But they don't take notice as I quietly sing [00:31.52] [00:32.18]This isn't my home I'm still yet to find one [00:36.79]For a moment I seem to fall into this place [00:41.12] [00:41.88]Where my parents they sleep soundly [00:44.72]They silently dream of the comfort [00:48.19]Of moments and the haunting of fate [00:51.61] [00:52.24]I've returned from a journey from the vastness of highways [00:56.75] [00:57.27]All the sunsets and forests running through my brain [01:01.46] [01:02.10]Now I look to the ocean [01:04.80]Where my breathen have spoken [01:06.84] [01:07.50]And I refill my voice on the salty winds [01:11.23] [01:12.30]I am halfway to thinking I'll go back to the city [01:16.79] [01:17.34]And I'll see all my friends upon the broken streets [01:21.44] [01:22.17]It's been two years since you left [01:24.96]It's been the coldest of winters [01:27.29]As I take out your photo from inside my coat [01:31.61] [01:32.13]So don't listen to me I'm afraid of this house [01:36.71] [01:37.25]I have listened carefully but there was no healing sound [01:42.40]I've put my thoughts in one place but they have scattered about [01:47.27]And so I chase after them until I feel something strong [01:52.45]Oh Caroline you will be an exception too fine [01:57.47]If I make up your face I will make up my mind [02:02.49]But this is surely a dream and I'm certain you'll fly [02:07.66]When I wake up today [02:10.06]I'll have your name in my eyes [02:12.31] [02:23.23]It's the friction of engines [02:25.60]That puts strength in my fingers [02:27.48] [02:28.17]So I press until meaning makes my voice appear [02:32.12] [02:33.22]I'll go see Jeremiah at his house on the island [02:38.32]And together we'll tower over everything [02:42.28] [02:43.25]We put our words in the soil [02:46.00]So perhaps they will splinter [02:48.42]And emerge on the day when we cannot sing [02:52.44] [02:53.38]Of what the truth has forgotten blood will certainly spoil [02:58.03] [02:58.55]From it's ashes another will take it's place [03:03.03] [03:04.22]Oh Caroline it will surely be soon [03:08.82]And I will feel your breath [03:11.32]And we'll stare at the moon until it burns our eyes [03:16.51]And we are selfishly blind and with our stolen love [03:21.60]We'll find our way through the night [03:23.66] [03:24.17]Oh Caroline you are everything true [03:29.29]I want to lose my self in everything that you do [03:34.38]Oh Caroline you are the sweetest of fruit [03:39.33]And when I walk alone I am walking with you s [03:43.88] [03:44.41]And when I walk alone I am walking with you [03:49.09] [03:49.60]And when I walk alone I am walking with you [03:54.63]And when I walk alone I am walking with you [03:59.29] [04:00.39]Oh Caroline you are the sweetest of fruit
